Sedro-Woolley Midnight Black ColorPlus James Hardie Siding With Front Demo & OSB Corrections
This Sedro-Woolley, WA project was built as a complete exterior case study, not just another list of siding materials. KV Construction approached the work as one exterior system, coordinating the main cladding with the documented preparation, weather protection, transitions, and finish details.
Sedro-Woolley sits in a wetter Skagit County environment where long rainy seasons make wall preparation and opening details especially important.
The core installation centered on 8 1/4-inch ColorPlus James Hardie lap siding with a 7-inch reveal; Midnight Black. Several project-specific details shaped the scope: painted eaves, front door, and garage door completed the exterior scope. Together, those choices gave the project a clearer architectural identity while keeping the scope grounded in the actual materials and processes used on site.
Why This Exterior Needed More Than a Color Change
The project started with the preparation that mattered for this specific exterior: old siding removed at the front; selective T1-11 areas on the sides and back corrected with 7/16-inch OSB. That work gave the new siding system the right foundation instead of treating the project as a surface-only update.
Weather Barrier, Flashing, and Rain Control
Pacific Northwest exterior work has to respect water. On this project, the documented supporting system included HardieWrap paper, 1 1/2-inch Hardie seam tape, 4-inch HardieFlash, 26GA flashing, Z-metal, and QUAD MAX. Those layers and transition details help the siding, openings, corners, penetrations, and adjoining surfaces work together through the region’s long wet season.
Material Choices That Fit the Project
The main exterior choice was 8 1/4-inch ColorPlus James Hardie lap siding with a 7-inch reveal; Midnight Black. KV Construction paired that with Arctic White Hardie trim and dedicated exterior blocks. The profile, spacing, texture, trim depth, and color or finish all influence how the building reads from the street, while the supporting details protect the edges where materials meet.
Details That Made This Project More Complete
Several project details made this scope more complete: Painted eaves, front door, and garage door completed the exterior scope. These items are important because siding projects often become most complex at soffits, openings, rooflines, lower-wall transitions, gutters, or places where two materials and profiles meet.
Outcome and Property Owner Value
The finished scope gives the property a more coordinated exterior, with the visible siding and the supporting details tied into one project. It is the kind of work KV Construction wants to be known for: practical, well-organized, and built around durable siding systems suited to Pacific Northwest weather.
